Tottering on the edge of oblivion <br />A cliff over a pool of infinite thought <br />To jump would be to embrace it <br />The possibility of infinity <br /> <br />And nothing could be more enticing <br />An endless quest for truth through thought <br />I shudder at it, the long and vicious fall <br />That blocks the path to enlightenment <br /> <br />No course has been less traveled <br />No path has been less walked <br />This worn down trail to the power of knowledge <br />Knows no friends, only many enemies <br /> <br />And those that seek to jump and fall <br />To immerse themselves in infinite thought <br />Are hindered by the immensity of the task <br />The task for truth that has no boundaries <br />And no end.<br /><br />Warren Augustus de Guzman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thinking-9/
